imo you get what you pay for. expect your shocks and struts to go soon after they are on. my advice would be to save for little bit longer and get a decent name like ground-control but even then you'll still need shocks and struts. good luck

STAY AWAY FROM THEM. any "ebay" coilover for that matter. if you do decide to go with sleeved coilovers, only ones i recommend are gc's or skunk2s...

dont get ractive, ebay sleeved coilovers,
if you want good coilovers, go with groundcontrols/ skunk2
then you will eventually need aftermarket shocks as well.

300 for ractive? damn? but then you get discount right? either way stay away from them. your just wasting your time. also running the risk of blowing the shocks. didnt even know cc sold car products.. whussup with that.. its like the ralphs here selling TVs n ish.. wtf is the world coming too.. next thing you know they'll be showing **** at church
